Let’s start at the beginning, chocolate and dulce de leche are a heavenly combination! And if you never tried it … what are you waiting for?
Since I was a child, I was always a fan of dulce de leche, but when I say fanatic, I am referring to a dulce de leche addict, I ate approximately half a kilo of dulce de leche every 3 days. Yes, I was a very sweet child, and I still am, although now my recipes are healthier, and you may wonder how this recipe can be healthy if it is pure chocolate and dulce de leche? To start is free of refined flours or refined sugars, with sugar-free low fat dulce de leche. And the chocolate cake is 70% veggie.
And if you’re still wondering what vegetable is hidden, it’s sweet potato, even if it’s not visible to the eye, or to taste, and I mean it, everyone who has tasted it has laughed when I told him it has sweet potatoes, they did not believe me, and that’s bc its a moist, soft, decadent and delicious cake that does not seem healthy.
The sweet potato brings moisture to the cake, in this case, we use it processed, without cooking, mixed with the rest of the ingredients, and then baked, so the sweet potato replaces the flour and keep the cake moist.
This cake is easy to make, takes a few minutes to make the mixture, and a little more than half an hour to bake it. Then we cool the cake and fill it with this dulce de leche cream which is a mixture of sugar-free dulce de leche and coconut cream. It cools again and is ready to be enjoyed with whoever you want, a real bomb ideal for tea or dessert.
Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret!
